| Arlington, TX (MySportsbook) - A half-dozen former FCS players are reveling in their Super Bowl XLV triumph as members of the World Champion Green Bay Packers. Starting free safety Nick Collins, in his sixth season out of Bethune-Cookman, made one of the biggest plays of the Packers' 31-25 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday night when he intercepted Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger at the Pittsburgh 37 and returned the pick for a touchdown and 14-0 lead. He had four tackles in the win. Starting wi |

PITTSBURGH (AP) - Patrons at Peters' Pub and other bars near the University of Pittsburgh campus mostly walked out quietly after the Super Bowl game, although some could be heard cursing the Steelers fate that they lost Sunday to the Green Bay Packers. In the campus' Oakland neighborhood at least, the crowds appeared well behaved and there were no confrontations with the police as fans and students walked back to their dormitories and apartments.

| TON, Texas (AP) - James Harrison sat on a stool and stared blankly into the Steelers' quiet locker room. Pittsburgh's playmaking linebacker knew he wasn't good enough in the Super Bowl. He even went on Twitter after the Steelers' 31-25 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night and typed out one simple word for every fan to see: ``Sorry.'' That pretty much summed things up for the Steelers defense, which isn't used to having to explain why it couldn't get the job done. ``Bottom line is, we played subp |

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - The Pack is back. NFL football? Well, nobody's quite sure when that's going to return. Led by quarterback Aaron Rodgers, the Green Bay Packers returned to the top of the football world Sunday with a 31-25 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers in the Super Bowl. It was yet another thrilling capper to the NFL's season, but this time, when they turned out the lights on the championship game, there was no guarantee they'd be back next fall.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy isn't exactly known for his public displays of bluster, and didn't provide anything even close to bulletin board material for the Pittsburgh Steelers in the buildup to the Super Bowl. Behind closed doors, though, McCarthy pulled something pretty brazen the night before the game: He had his players fitted for rings. Then they went out and beat the Steelers 31-25 on Sunday. McCarthy's motivational ploy came as a shock to Packers players, and ce |
